Why Choose This Product

Original cover release buttons can wear or become damaged during repeated use, leading to unreliable cover retention. This TWS replacement restores smooth operation, prevents cover movement under recoil, and maintains the forward-hinged quick-release functionality that makes Dog Leg rails popular among tactical shooters. The drop-in design requires minimal fitting on most rifles and integrates seamlessly with existing recoil spring assemblies.

Installation Notes

Replacement involves disassembling the recoil spring assembly, trial-fitting the new button into the rear trunnion slot, and lightly sanding the bottom surface if needed for optimal fit. Always apply a drop of gun oil to the trunnion slot before reassembly and seat the button by closing the cover and charging the bolt carrier twice.
